I didn't realize Union were among the losers. Live and learn.
We are reading different topics i think.
YOU are my beta testers! If you want a semi finished project, wait till you see a strategus link in your crpg page. This round serves it purpose perfectly, lots of bugs got found that a closed beta could never have.
Sorry, but it's not my fault you found the link to strategus beta in some topic that stated that its a very early version and ignored that statement.
Why de hell do you tell me to take it down, when all you have to do is not fucking open the page if it bothers you. What a self entitled snob....
The process doesn't feel like testing.
We spent weeks to test a castle siege, we gonna spend few weeks more to experience a city siege ...
If it is about testing , we could simulate battles like 3ABP suggested.
The thing you are doing is like giving free ice-cream to childeren and when they get poisoned and died telling judge on court "But i gave them those for free ! They could ignore me and deny my free ice-cream offer !"
We , nerds are childeren , you are the evil ice-cream guy,ice-cream is strategus in this case.
I am not telling you what to do .You asked for suggestions, i suggested my opinions as you wanted .Waiting lots of factions to produce troops / gold to simulate battles and reveal bugs is waste of time indeed,open strat for your "CHOSEN" beta testers and simulate every damn possible buggy situation , after you think it is clear release it to community.It sounds more positive then current situation imo.
